Tried the script, missing some key things, needs more information while installing the script, about boot devices and stuff. Had a mate trying it out, he managed to break it, went to an option for setting language before installing, then package installation kept failing.
Still looks nice, but it really needs some more information in places, like about the automatic formatting, it formats it then asks you to select where the boot devices are. I have no clue because it was automatic.
I don't reccomend people to install arch through this script, or any other script. I recommend they learn with a more experienced arch user so they know how to fix these problems. The Luke Smith arch install was good because it explains everything. Maybe I'll change my mind when I think the script is more robust

So I watched this video, proceed to installation with archfi but used EXT4 instead of BTRFS for root. Everything went fine, system is running perfecty. My question is, I'd like to install Arch on another system but using BTRFS instead like you did. I fell on your most recent video about BTRFS GUIDE where you mention that you installed Arch on Top level with archfi. Does it mean that archfi scipt doesn't automatically create Toplevel and subvolume properly for btrfs? meaning that if you choose BTRFS when partitionning with archfi auto it'll just install on the Toplevel instead?

nice script ! but you can also just do a pacstrap /mnt base base-devel linux linux firmware nano and go on with your manual installation.. it's not that hard and gives you the minimum install for a working arch ;) or you can use anarchy but personally I recommend to be able doing it manually cause when you'll face problems you would be really glad to be able to do a chroot and to know the basis of your system.. and after the minimal install just open a terminal and run a sudo pacman -S (all the softs you want on your arch and nothing more)

I just used this script today to install arch on my system. Now I have a triple boot setup! I'll probably keep Debian Testing as my main OS for now but I want to play around in Arch for a little while. I've become frustrated with the documentation for Debian and how to install software outside of the Debian repositories for the testing version. The Arch wiki's documentation is the best I have ever seen for an Operating System, so I hope that despite having to build things more often, finding a fix/tutorial will be easier.

I've got some advice for those who are not in the US:
3:26 is the part in which Arch is actually being installed. If you're not in the US, I advise you to go to 'Select mirrors by country' (you don't see it here, but I think Chris is running an older version of archfi) and pick the country of your choice, otherwise downloading will be painfully slow. I think it defaults to a US mirror, but I don't know.
I hope this helps anyone who downloads Arch with archfi.

OH MY GOD! I-ve tried the Arch wiki install for about three days with failure after failure. I then followed Derek-s install video and had hiccups to the point that was about to go back to Fedora. This script was an absolute God send. Thanks Chris for covering it. It would be great if you did another tutorial with installing in a real machine and went through the process a bit slower. -Hey, I-m a visual learner. Reading how to do stuff doesn-t always click.

That Script saved me, tried to install Arch over 6 times, tries different SSDs but that was not the problem, the issue that GRUB was not seeing the bootable partition, because it is missing or the instruction from other youtube users, has --recheck without the --recheck /dev/sda that was the problem ALL ALONG.. the script did that automatically,, I guess have to learn GRUB more that I wanted to.. thanks Chris

So hey I just got an archfi install completed. I want to really LEARN tho; and while this way helped, maybe I should have just ... done it myself. Ummm.. like I did install the LTS kernel like you suggested; but why? Where can I learn why I did that, what it does for me, and what if I hadn-t?? Thanks. You are my favorite Linux youtuber.... I-m getting in with arch. I come from Linux and FreeBSD...

great vid. Now using Arch, it took a lot to move from pop os, which i loved. System boots quicker and Pycharm which i use for programming is so much more responsive. It's taken 5 years of Linux use and switching distro's is at at end. Just to add to a comment below, slow down a bit in your vids !! thx again

How do you add something to install I have tried every key bind I can think of. like I wanted to install netdiscovery but I couldn't add the asterisk and I didn't want vim just nano and I couldn't remove the asterisk from vim. =/ Any help would be appreciated.
